Hi there,

I have some more info for you.

We migrated our site to wordpress from custom CMS and wanted to keep our old post view figures ($hcviews). To combine the old view count with the new ones generated by your plugin I wrote this function in my functions.php

function get_post_views() {
    $tptnviews = get_tptn_post_count_only( get_the_ID(), 'total' );
    $hcviews = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'post_views', true);

    if( $hcviews > 0) {
      return $tptnviews + $hcviews;
    }elseif ($tptnviews > 0 && $hcviews == 0) {
        return $tptnviews;
    } else{
      return 800;
    }
}

This didnt get me the results I wanted when called in my loop ( get post views() ) So I resorted to just using your plugins get_tptn_post_count_only() in my homepage post loop to display each posts view count. ( This wasn’t optimum however because our old posts weren’t displaying an accurate view count ) . Then recently, our view count got really wonky and stopped displaying accurate information all together, displaying 0 or a random inaccurate low number. I checked our logs and saw the original error message posted above.

.

@photocrati no answer for me though?

Hi Ajay,

I should have done a bit more explaining, I just imported a bunch of posts from my old site (around 20,000 posts), Im trying to add the view count from your plugin to old the view count from my old site that I transferred over as a custom field. I wrote a function to add them together and display as one:

function get_post_views() {
    $wpviews = The code Im asking for would go here;
    $hcviews = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'post_views', true);

    $hcviews = ( $hcviews != '' ? $hcviews : 0 );

    if( $wpviews > 0 && $hcviews > 0 ) {
      return $wpviews + $hcviews;
    } elseif( $wpviews > 0 && $hcviews == 0 ) {
      return $wpviews;
    } elseif( $wpviews == 0 && $hcviews > 0 ) {
      return $hcviews;
    } else {
      return 0;
    }
}

As you can see I’m not looking to echo there view count from your plugin here, just trying to pull it to be added to my custom field number.

Thanks
